How does the fact that when a bacterium reproduces the offspring are exact copies of the parent bacterium affect under what conditions would this stadegy would help a species continue in the future?

The reason that bacteria have been able to survive so long is that the asexual reproduction that they use allows for very little mutation, so as long as the environment stays the same, the bacteria will thrive. When mutation, or evolution does occur, because of the asexual reproduction the mutations are much more extreme and fast (because there is no recombination fo the DNA as in sexual reproduction). So the species will be able to survive in the new environment, thus the bacteria are able to survive.

What does fertile offspring mean?
Fertile offspring are offspring of parents which can continue to reproduce (for example Humans). However you can also get infertile offspring which cannot reproduce (an example of this is a mule, but it is not always the case.
Will the foram offspring be different from the parent?
No, DNA is basically made up of sets of alliels. Fathers and sons (and daughters)(biological) share certain alliels. Mothers also share them with their children. yes ...... father and son should have same DNA....... but mother's chromosomes also plays a very vital role to define DNA of any generation.
How do plants photosynthesize in adverse conditions?
There are a variety of conditions which are adverse to photosynthesis, such as dim lighting, lack of water, etc. In adverse conditions, photosynthesis is either slowed down or ceases entirely. But to the extent that photosynthesis may continue to take place, it happens in the usual way; there is just less of it.
What effect would the presence of tetracycline in the body have on penicillin therapy?
The presence of tetracycline in the body will greatly inhibit the effectiveness of the penicillin. Most antibiotics fall into two groups: bacteriostatic, and bacteriocidal. Penicillin is bactericidal, and tetracycline is bacteristatic. Bactericidals kills the bacterium whereas bacteristatics stop the bacterium from growing, but it is still alive, so once the antibiotic is taken away the bacteria will start growing again. Penicillin requires that the bacterium continue to grow in order to kill the bacterium. Because penicillin stops to the cell wall from growing, but the bacteria continues to grow causing it to erupt out of the cell, killing it. Since the tetracycline effectively keeps the bacterium from growing, giving the bodies own immune system the opportunity to kill it, the penicillin will be rendered somewhat useless and therefore these two therapies should not be combined. You should always tell your doctor, and your pharmacist about any and all medications you are taking, as they can point out problems like this easily.
Can an athlete continue to play with a torn labrum in the shoulder?
An athelate may not be able to play with torn labrum in the shoulder. But then the history is full of stories of sholdiers fighting the battle with loss of various body parts. It is a fact that sholdiers can continue to fight the battle in all sort of adverse conditions and with any type of injury you can name.
What does fertile offspring mean?
Fertile offspring are offspring of parents which can continue to reproduce (for example Humans). However you can also get infertile offspring which cannot reproduce (an example of this is a mule, but it is not always the case.
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue under what conditions?
Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue under anaerobic conditions (i.e. in the lack of oxygen)
Why can large animals survive with less offspring?
Probably because they are large and tough.Larger animals tend to be higher up in the food chain and are less likely to be eaten when born. A mouse needs to have dozens of offspring a year to insure that one of then will get to continue the species. A human or and elephant need only have a few offspring in a lifetime to continue the species.
Why do animals of the same species continue to live from generation to another?
having offspring. i.e reproduction.
What conditions enable glycolysis to continue during fermentation?
Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue as long as the glucose supply lasts. Glycolysis enables the fermentation to continues under an anaerobic conditions.
How do changes at the DNA and gene level change populations to eventually form new species?
I think you're talking about genetic mutation... If the trait is dominant then it will be spread to its offspring and if it doesn't hinder the offspring's survival then the trait will continue to be passed on to new generations.
Charlottes web Why did charlotte did a egg sac?
Charlotte laid eggs and made an egg sac to ensure that her legacy and friendship with Wilbur would continue after she died. The egg sac contained her offspring, which would eventually hatch and continue the cycle of life on the farm.
What is the advantage of conjugation of a paramecium?
Conjugation is sexual reproduction through sharing of DNA. It is advantageous to a paramecium because it produces more genetic diversity, so in bad times, sexual reproduction might produce a stronger offspring that can withstand the bad conditions.
How do you accept terms and conditions on second life?
To accept the terms and conditions it is necessary to be logging in using the official Second Life viewer. Once login details have been entered the terms and conditions window will be displayed. The terms and conditions box must be ticked to accept them for the login to continue.
How does a white tiger reproduce?
A white tiger reproduces by having sex.AnswerWhite tigers reproduce by having 3-4 cubs, 16 weeks after mating. Some of those cubs will carry the white gene and the life cycle will continue, when they reach maturity.
Why do scientists say that the environment selects the traits that allow an organism the survive and reproduce?
That is how organism adapts to changes in the environment in order for it to stay alive and continue its genes through its offspring.
What is the difference between the ideal range and the range of tolerance?
Ideal range means the normal operating conditions, and range of tolerance means the extreme varied conditions in which operation can continue, without failure
